The 2018 D.C. Funk Parade

All images Leica SL and 75mm Noctilux

It almost didn’t happen this year, the Funk Parade. It’s the city’s greatest single day, and if D.C. had not found a way of bringing it back, we’d be poorer for it. Thankfully a Kickstarter campaign, the persistence of the organizers, and a groundswell of support prevailed.

Herewith an experiment — trying to use the 75mm Noctilux, with its razor thin focal plane, in bright light at a street event. We see possibilities.
